Weck Glaswerk, one of the most historical and renowned glassworks in Germany, is relying since decades on the Rotary Vane technology for the supply of vacuum and compressed air at the IS machines.
In 2017, for the expansion of its production plant in Bonn, the company installed the first Pneumofore UV30 vacuum pump.
This Rotary Vane machine fully met the expectations. The efficient non-stop operation and the ability to independently service the machine reinforced Weck’s faith in Pneumofore.
In fact, the company installed a second Pneumofore UV30 unit, equipped with Variable Speed drive, and commissioned a Pneumofore A400.4 low pressure air compressor for the supply of 3 bar(g).
Owing to the steady running of the Pneumofore machines under full load over the years, Weck Glaswerk was happy to document the results and the confirmed power consumption savings with a video testimonial. With a pure and honest testimonial, Weck is demonstrating the improvements achieved in meeting the demanding German carbon footprint reduction rules.

CanTech The Grand Tour is one of the most internationally renowned conference and tabletop exhibitions for the metal packaging industry.
The event gathers together global can makers, technical experts and suppliers, providing access to networking opportunities as well as the latest innovations and advances in efficient and sustainable production technologies.
In 2025, the Tour will stop to Belgium, with spotlights on the European aluminum packaging sector which is expected to develop significantly as new segments in the next years.
As a leading supplier of centralized solutions for vacuum and compressed air in can production, Pneumofore will also feature among the key-note speakers at the technical conference.
Pneumofore’s distributors and agents convened in Bangkok in late February for the Asia Technical Meeting 2025. The event saw remarkable participation from 21 countries, a testament to both the strategic importance of the region and the appeal of the vibrant host city. Bangkok has consistently proven to be an ideal hub for industry gatherings. Pneumofore’s presence in Asia is well-established, with air compressors and vacuum pumps operating in the region for over two decades. To enhance customer support and reduce response times, Pneumofore has announced the establishment of the Asia Service Center in collaboration with the Thai distributor, Star-Dynamic (Thailand) Co., Ltd. This partnership aims to provide superior customer service, system advice, and in-house repair services for Pneumofore equipment, ensuring faster and more efficient after-sales support. The Asia Technical Meeting 2025 underscored Pneumofore’s commitment to the region, fostering stronger relationships with partners and clients. The introduction of the Asia Service Center represents a significant advancement in delivering localized support, aligning with Pneumofore’s dedication to efficiency, durability, and minimal life cycle costs in its rotary vane technology solutions.
Pneumofore will present its cutting-edge technology and vacuum and compressed air solutions for glass production at Glasstec, the world’s leading trade show for the glass industry.
With a brand-new booth design in Hall 13, Stand A64, Pneumofore will showcase a range of high-performance vacuum and compressor systems, including the A2 Series booster compressor systems, designed to compress air from an inlet pressure of 2 to 10 bar(g) to an outlet pressure of up to 18 bar(g), marking a significant advancement in the compnay’s product line.
This year, Pneumofore is proud to participate for the first time at the Glasstec Conference. Don’t miss the opportunity to attend a compelling lecture by Pneumofore’s President, Eng. Daniel Hilfiker. The presentation, titled “Glass Moulding with Sustainable Compressors and Vacuum Pumps,” will be held on 25 October 2024 at 10:20 on the Glass Trends Live stage in Hall 10/A70.This insightful presentation will delve into the key role of compressed air and vacuum in the blow moulding process, essential for shaping molten glass into desired forms.
Eng. Hilfiker will examinate the variety of technologies available today, emphasizing their electrical power consumption and long-term Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). As the furnace in glassworks boasts a lifespan exceeding 20 years, it is crucial that supporting equipment, such as air compressors and vacuum pumps, match this durability while maintaining peak performance. The presentation will highlight the importance of sustained efficiency, as any decline leads to increased power consumption and CO2 emissions.
Pneumofore’s solutions are designed to ensure consistent performance over time, with a focus on reducing electric power consumption, which is a major cost driver over the lifespan of these machines.
Visit our stand at Glasstec 2024 to learn more about their innovative solutions that not only enhance production efficiency but also contribute to sustainability by reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.
